The Gala in the V Hotel in Dubai crowned Jordan and Carol as the world’s Best Beach Soccer Players
The beach soccer world has named its champions in a sparkling ceremony held on Saturday night in Dubai.
The new Best Players in the world are Portugal’s Jordan Santos and Carol Gonzalez from Spain.
Returning to the stage a year later to hand over the mantle of Best Player was Spanish striker Llorenç Gomez, while Maite Ventura, Managing Director of LaLiga in the Middle East and North Africa, presented Carol with her award.
There were even more familiar faces up on stage as the trophies were handed out. The Best 5 Stars consisted of Chuzkov (Russia), Ozu (Japan), Jordan (Portugal), Rodrigo (Brazil) and Gori (Italy), while a brand-new award, known as the Best Legend, went to the Junior.
Chuzkov went home with two trophies after also winning the Best Goalkeeper, while the fresh-faced Josep Jr (Italy) was presented with the Rising Star award by the 2017 winner, Boris Nikonorov.
The Best Coach went to Gilberto of Brazil for the second year running, and El Salvador’s Batres was awarded the trophy for Best Goal of the Year. Best Event was given to the European Games Minsk 2019.
